OK so I order crickets for my 6 month old beardie from Fluckers and they are out of crickets at this time. I order some meal worms and tried to feed him this morning and he looks at me like WTF where are my crickets. Is they something else I can replace the crickets with that is good for him and doesnt cost an arm and a leg. He was eating crickets 2-3 times a day. Could use some help. post comment on here or email me at [email protected] thank you

Hi. I would nix those mealworms as babies have trouble digesting them and can cause impaction. Good feeders are dubia roaches, Phoenix worms, silk worms, butter worms are all good. I know what you mean about feeders being expensive, but as he gets older he won't eat as much feeders. I have 3 adults and a roach colony and then I just give hornworms as treats once in a while.

I will have to try that roaches are too big for him? I have been sick myself today so he is having salad...not too happy but has eaten some...

Both of my dragons are 3 months and under and they eat roaches. My boy is 13 1/2 weeks and can manage to eat 1/2" nymphs (baby roaches) when they accidentally fall into his bowl. As long as you buy the roaches as nymphs that are size appropriate he should be fine.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
